A new evening daily has been
started at Knoxville, called the Sun.
1t is not large, but what it lacks in
size it will make up in brilliancy.
The TIMES has only had glimpse
Of it, as the little luminary did not
shine upon us in our hemisphere,
but we saw it shining in the Senti-
mel Office, through the window,
lighting up Brother Hearn with its
rays of gentle beauty. Success to
the Sun, may it always shine.

Mr.. Fagg, of Whitesburg, Tenn,
says he was notified by John ]. Lit
tleton that in his lottery he drew
the $4,000 piano, and Mr.. Fagg
wrote him how to ship it, but John
failed to send it; he wrote him a
second time, and John failed to
notice it. And then q third letter
brought the answer that Quinn had
extravagantly used up all his
money and he did not have enough
to buy it. So that ends a little piece
of Johns sharp business tact in get
ting subscriptions to his whisky
organ, the Review.

There are boys, great big boys
who think it manly to talk about
taking a drink of liquor. All such
boys show a weakness of mind when
they do this. Good solid common
sense exercised would free them of
all this kind of stuff. If boys will
take observations of those who have
gone before them and practiced this
same foolish habit there would be
less of it every year, for there never
was a poor drunkard who did not
begin his downfall in this way.

If the whisky men had the power
they would not allow free speech or

the editors, public speakers and
teachers run in hewing their way
into the forest of public opinion.

A war Of viliflcatien has been in.
augurated by Col. Colyar, of the
Daily American, at Nashville,
against Maj E. B. Stahlman, Vice
President of the L. en-. From the
best light we can get on the subject
it is without foundation. Col. Col
var within the last eighteen months
originated the idea of building the
Midland Railroad from Memphis,
Tenn, to Bristol, by the way of
Nashville. He made propositions
to Major Stahlman to lend his as
sistsnce and for which he proposed
to make him President, and went
SO far as to offer him $1,000 per year
as a salary, which the Major de-
clined. There has been an effort
on the part of the company to OBJ
tain a large bonus from the people
of Davidson county for the road and
the question was submitted to the
people asking them to vote $500, 900,
which was defeated. During the
campaign in the county, the Amer.
lean, Of course, championed the rail-
road project, and preferred all man.
or Of charges against Major Stahl-
man as to the introduction of illegal
voters and the shipping Of detec-
tives into the county to defeat the
railroad subsidy, all of which the
Major denied and proposed an in
vestigation, but the gallant COL, of
the American, turned a deaf ear to
the proposition, besides denied the
use Of the columns of the American
to the man whom it was villifying.
The Nashville Banner and other
papers, representing the taxpayers,
accepted the proposition of Mr..
Stahlman, as being fair, but the
American lodged the issue and re-
fused to submit to an investigation.
If Col. C0lyar had consented to an
investigation, we understand that
some Of the points made would have
developed:
LIST. That the American was paid
a large sum of money to advocate
the Midland r. r. subsidy.
End. That it was to put money in
to the projectors pockets.
3rd. That other Nashville papers
were offered large sums for the same
kind of service.
4th. That Major Stahlman made
no effort to influence the Court in
its action, as charged.
The TINES used to believe Col.
Colyar was a fair and honorable
man, but in this matter he has not
exhibited that fairness and gener-
osity which should characterize
journalist of his standing. We
know Major Stahlman and have
found him to be high minded, hon.
orable gentleman, one who would
not stoop to be guilty of any low
trickery to defeat the Midland II. II.
company.

rate been maintained, taking into ac-
count the increase of the population,
the rate of expenditure would now be
E161, 624,000 1t is said by the English
authorities that all the evidence goes
to show that the decrease is chiefly due
to depression of trade and consequently
inability to spend. The figures for
1886 show an average expenditure of
93 rs. Sd. for each man, woman and
child in Great Britain, which is $16 A
per head. Hence it will be seen that
the drink habit is not so firmly rooted
in this country as in England, as our
per capita annual drink bill is $11.95
per head.
We ask every business man, every
father of a family, every patriotic cit
izen. if there is not enough in the APP
parling exhibit given above to furnish
subject for serious thought on the
question. "On purely economic
grounds, if on none other, should not
this waste be stopped?" Think of the
bare fact that SeUen hundred millions
per gear are absolutely wasted-paid
out for that which brings no return!
If the rum traffic were exterminated,
this 500, 900, 900 would be added to the
sum spent in the channels of legitimate
trade. 1t would be paid out to mer-
chants of all kinds, grocers, butchers,
farmers and others; it would be spent
in buying homes, in erecting new
ones, or in identifying and improving
them; it would add just that much to
all productive industries; and, besides
this, would reduce taxation, for it
would increase the tax duplicate; it
would reduce enormously the sums
spent for courts and police and prisons,
for infirmaries and penitentiaries.
This is an argument that comes
home to every good citizen. The esti-
mates thus published by the Govern
ment are conservative, and if they err
it is in placing the sum total too low.
We have before this adopted the esti-
mate of 5000, 100000 as our annual rum
bill, and we believe it nearer the actual
truth than that of 500, 900, 900. Toledo

MANURING POTATOES.
A Crop That Can BE Materially Benefited
by Commercial Fertilizers,

by Commercial Fertilizers.
A fairly rich loamy soil, thoroughly
prepared, is the best for this crop. The
roots reach down rather deep into the
soil, and the plants require considerable
moisture. For this reason the soil should
be plowed deep and thoroughly. As
rather rich soil is necessary to secure
the best results, the soil should be made
fine, so that as large an amount of
available plant food as possible will be
placed in condition to be used by the
plants.
Applying fresh coarse manure is very
much inclined to cause knotty, rough
growth, and for this reason fresh ma
nure should not be applied. If stale
manure is used, care should be taken
to have it we'll rotted, and then to thor
oughly incorporate with the soil. Hav-
ing it fine before applying will aid con-
siderably in this. The potato crop is
one that very often can be materially
benefited by an application of unleached
ashes. One of the best ways to apply
these is to mark out the rows, running
the pillow rather deep and then fine the
soil well in the bottom of the burrows.
Apply the ashes and work well into the
soil before planting the seed. This will
place them where the feeding roots of
the plants will be able to reach them.
As it requires but short time for the
roots to reach out considerable dis
tance unless the ashes are thoroughly
incorporated with the soil, they will
soon extend far beyond it, and they will
fail to derive the benefit they should.
If commercial fertilizers are used, this
is also the best plan of applying.
Taking the average crop raised on
the farm, as rule, it can not be con-
sidered profitable to purchase CONNER
cial fertilizers and apply. The greater
portion of the fertilizers used on the
farm should be made and saved by
feeding stock. If good thrifty stock is
kept and all the feed secured upon the
farm is fed cut SO as to secure the largest
gain at the lowest expense, and the ma
nure made, saved and applied, aided by
good system of rotation, the fertility
of the farm can be kept up without pur-
chasing manures.
More, perhaps, than with any other
crop, commercial fertilizers can be pur-
chased and used with potatoes And
where there is an insufficient supply of
manure, we may be able to use the farm
manure to better advantage. and
commercial fertilizers be purchased and
used on the potato crop.-Farna, Field

Never bring fowl from another

it at some distance from the yards,
keeping the new birds confined long

strictest precautions are necessary, or
you will bring roup or cholera into your
yards before you are aware of it. And,
what is more, even if there be no disease,
quarantine for fear of lice. Always be

THE DEATH OF MORALITY.
Terrible Effects OF Alcohol in Utterly De-
stroying All That Is Good and Noble in
Man, by a Medical Authority.

stroying All That Is Good and Noble in
Man, by a Medical Authority.
The corruption and indeed, dissolu-
ton, of the moral nature through the
power of alcohol are open to observa-
ton in the petty and despicable vices
of drunkenness, as well as in the as
founding baseness and seeming deprav-
ity of its more conspicuous outrages.
The very nature of the offenses
against law and decency which belongs
to drunkenness often betrays their
origin. As rule it may be said that
the shortcomings and crimes of drunk
enness are not those of generalization
and malevolent reasoning; are not of
choice; are not melted by natural and
regular motive, but they owe their ex-
istence to simple defect-to the inca
pacities and irregularities of moral de-
formation-to impulse, rather than to
deliberation and will. These crimes be-
come possible and indeed inevitable, be-
cause the only power really adequate to
their repression is physically inopera-
tive. The natural defense against their
exhibition and activity-the nervous
basis of the moral constitutions
broken down and disabled.
While this condition of nerve-defect
may, to a certain degree, eliminate
premeditated malice from drunken
ness, that condition is all the more
dangerous to society, by reason of its
entire independence of mental control.
The limit to crime is unbounded 1t
may extend into the regions of frenzy
knowing no law, and being totally
insensible to restraint. 1t is obvious
that, in proportion as the feelings are
removed from the restraints and SUI
pervision of reason and judgment they
come under the dominion of selfish
ness, passion and lust; and these, IN
drunkenness, often comprise, in them
selves, the whole being. The moral
feelings having become oblivious, sell
tishness, passion and lust assume their
place and sway and drive the mind to
their own interests.
Hence, the offenses and crimes of
drunkenness, while not always heinous
in the ordinary sense of the term, are
apt to exhibit an astonishingly selfish
turpitude. They extend all the way
from simple untruthfulness to the
vilest indecencies, to assaults evincing
unspeakable depravity, and very often,
also, TO the most Implying turbulence
and murder.
Remorse is feeble in the drfnkard,
even when sober; but when actual in
toXication is upon him, it is impossi-
bic. The more terrible crimes of
drunkenness, therefore, resemble the
deliberate, but insensate bloodthirsti-
ness of some reptilian monster, in
whose physical structure the neurine
instruments of the finer sensibilities
have never been placed. And the rea-
son of this is plain: the drunken man
and the saurian are, for the time be-
ing, established in some considerable
degree of relationship with each other
The moral sensibilities of the former
are stupefied and dormant; while in
the latter they have not, and never had
an existence. d. L. W15ght in
Journal Of Inebriety.
